Release date is the 18th of October (information from Play-asia)

.... Now I need to have that. (Sha-chan, you are the bestest~<3)

I like the way they put the Buster Sword in the center, with all 3 owners past and future resting their hand on it. I'm really only looking at Zack now haha.

UGH GAWDZ, I'M POOR ENOUGH. D: Stop with the books! *Weep*

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGG

THAT'S SICK! (you know, the good kind of sick)

THE COVER LEAVES ME BREATHLESS. :swoon: Thank you so much again, sha! :huggle:
Another Ultimania. Ohhh boyyy. XD

~saves fo sho~

Looks like Zack is everything for FF7 now... O_o hmm......

I like the cover through ^^

:D Thankszzz

You're very welcome :huggle:

Me too love the cover :)

More information:
The Ultimania was actually announced about a month ago (August 10th), along with the release date.
This time, it's just announcing the contents and cover art.

It'll include character explanations and a complete "capture guide" (strategy guide) for all 300 missions and scenarios, numerous "establishment images" (production art), a scenario staff Q&A, and various other contents including an interview that reaches to all five of the development teams, adding up to a total of 592 pages. :swoon:

OH SNAP. Another book for me to buy....

Hmm...Zack's eyes look cool.

That cover looks awesome. Past, present, and future. Makes me want it even more. I wish Cloud was in the center...

lol Cloud looks like a shorty in that pic.

We all know Cloud's an uke, anyway...

Beautiful cover! Thanks, sha! If I have the money, anyway...

Wuwoo~ Thanks sha! :huggle:

Actually, this 3menXone sword pic kinda confused me in the beginning(I dun like Cloud's shorty figure and boyish face here.... >_< ) but give it a second though, I think it's quite meaningful, cuz all of them carries out the key to be a soldier~ :fangirl:
Love it!!(*killing another piggy bank)



PS:But still......I can't help but imagine they all shout "MINE!" in that graphic....(*run)

This looks amazing. Too bad I have no money for it.

Cloud is short. :/

Haha yeah, he is. xD

I remember seeing the official description of his height (was it like 5'7"?) and thinking wow... he's pretty short!

Ah... And I had always thought he'd be like 6' or something. XD

lol, nope, he's pretty short even by present-day Asian standards. My girlfriend, at 15, was 5'6". She's probably overgrown Cloud by now. XD

Though AC made him look really tall and stuff. I was beginning to think SE had forgotten that Cloud was a shorty (Squall was 17 and almost 6 feet!).

He's tall enough for me! :wub: :pant:

(is 5'5")

Sorry all Zack fans, but I think he looks awful in this pic! :(

:cry: i'm like 5'9" or something... why do i have to be taller than him... (why am i so upset, he isn't real damn it)

I think its sooo strange how small he looks in that pic though, plus his face looks like it belongs to a 5 year old.... he just looks soooo young...

but the cover is very cool and i want the book now...

but isn't there a CC bit in the FF7 Ultimania book? so why does it need its own?

:lol:

I think he looks cool yet... older than usual...? :/

The CC Ultimania will probably go into the nitty-gritty, super-detailed aspects of the game. The other Ultimania was released for FFVII's 10th Anniversary, so it has to cover everything about FFVII.

...And there's the $. Don't forget the $. :P

Huh, that's wierd. I think I remember reading somewhere that he was like 5'8" or something...Haha, whatever, but anyway, Cloud's height is just fine for me! I love him anyway. :cloud: All 5'7" of him....:fish:

Yeah, I kinda agree. His pic could be better, but it's not horrible. But for some reason, his eyes here captivate me...

Nah, CloudSmiles is right on this one -- Squall's 5'8". :3

ahh well Cloud still is gorgeous ..and that picture is really wow though i love the fact that all 3 owners are holding the sword .. shows the image of it being passed down... and it kinda living on through each of them.. like a legacy

Whoops, my bad! Though I was certain one of the FFVIII characters was around 6'...

But that makes sense. I remember snickering over how Squall, at 17, was already taller than Cloud, at 21. XD Poor boy, no wonder he got bullied in Nibelheim. He was a little shorty!

Maybe it's the half-skirt-cum-apron that makes Cloud look taller in AC. :lol: *takes notes*

What? Cloud's just a couple of inches taller then me and I'm bearly half his age! (Or I'm just tall for an Asian...?) Must be genetics, yeah, his mum's genes.

BTW, I'm pretty sure it's Irvine who's about 6 feet tall.

Darnit, the only bookstore that sold these Ultimania books are in ANOTHER city, which are either 3-5 hours (Sydney) or 2 days drive (Gold Coast/Brisbane) away.

*secretly plans to blackmails Kinokuniya into opening a store in Canberra*

I've been as tall as Cloud for a while. D: He's such a midget, ugh. ;-;

I find it funny that most of the male characters I like are 5'7". :lmao: How unfortunate. xD

My friend thought that since they were Asian characters, it was unfair, so she automatically adds a couple to a few inches to their height so they can be height-appropriate for us. :lmao:

God, I'm only, like, 5'6". Cloud is perfect for me! :lol:

BTW, yeah, I'd say that it is Irvine who is nearly 6'. I'm replaying FFVIII right now, and he does appear to be taller than Squall.

Yay, pretty cover art :D hehe, I wanna know what's inside that magazine >: D

Hey, I'm 5'6".. So :P

Take a glance on CC Ultimania..
Only a few small pics though :P

The real cover..

I wanna ask.. Are you satisfied with this cover? :unsure:
I mean, they've covered up almost an half of that beautiful art :huh:

lol The obi is covering up the most symbolic part of that cover image.

Hopefully some other kind person can scan some more pics~ I'll be getting this book too most likely.

I've ordered the book~(*happily waiting for the shipping :D )

I'll scan the pages if there's still no sharing linkage then.
Has anyone noticed that the boldfaces on pic6 is "Then, as for the expectant Remake...?" :o :o
I think I'm gonna shift my trans job to this book in the future... :P


Thanks, sha! :huggle:


See? Even Aerith is reading CC Ultimania!! :lmao:
(.....sorry for random fanart :blush: )

Hmm...Yeah, I don't like how they covered up the bottom half of the book. It's covering the Buster Sword...

Other than that, the inside looks okay.

Dropping more hints, eh?

Ooh, I can't wait your translation on that article in which that boldface quote was quoted (at least, that's what I'm presuming...)!

It could be speculation, at most, but it never hurts to try and glean more info out of it.

Nah, no need for apologies. It's cute. ^^

Did you make that?

aww that picture of Aerith reading the ultimania is so cute.. and it says that??? "Then, as for the expectant Remake...?" ahhhh please let that be a hint of things to come....

You're welcome, and thanks for the cute fanart(hey,no need to apologies, it's very cute)..
Well, I'm also looking forward for your scans and trans, Lydia!
(pssss, make sure to bold the CXA parts :D but it's CC time zone, so it's hard to happen, I think)

And, Lydia.. About the pic6 boldfaces, do you spot any kind of hint or something?

PinkRibbon, yes, she made it herself.. Because I know she's a great artist :aeris:
Take a look at her fanart pages.. Lovely!

sha:

............ :badangel:

No, no, nooooo~ :o big thank to sha and PinkyR! but I ain't do that fanart! I found it in some Japanese fansite(but I lost the linkage....I'm a terrible CXA pics saver.. :P ) I only did CXA drawing thorugh photoshop9.0, this one is way too diffucult for me....
Dear sha, I'm so glad that u like my fanarts... :blush: I've done one for you and will update it tomorrow, hope u like it :huggle:

I haven't found anything in that page since it's an incomplete scan...I believe it's from an interview, and all I got under that boldfaces is a question saying: "The ending for players who love FF7 would be an urgent appeal (for Remake)."
(well, just some rough trans. I'll get the book tomorrow and will check that part out soon :lol: )

[ot] Wow, that's all rather sweet AerithLove! I especially like World and Secret. <3

:blush: Really? Sorry about that.. :P

:yahoo: Can't wait for all that, Lydia! You're LOVE, Lydia, LOVE!!! :luv:

Well, I've found another pics.. Looks awesome :hyper:

Can't wait to see the actual scans :drool:

AHHHH SEPHIROTH!!! heheheh looking as smexy as ever .. and that secret page.. with the blood on Clouds face and Aerith... i wounder what its going to be about.. and yea the actual scans are going to be amazing.. thanks Sha for posting this!!

I got my CC Ultimania today!! :dance2: The content is amazingly detailed(591 pages, man...0_o"). The graphics are pretty and the storyline goes amply clear....but no new info I guess(only some "Link to FF7 Series" tidbits which I'm gonna translate :lol: ). But I am satisfied by many interview-pages already(there's a whole topic 'bout her AGAIN~hahahhaha :fangirl: )

Anyw, I'm lost at which part I should start scanning.....so I start by chapters of "Character" and "Secret"; hope you dun mind, cuz all those battle system/mission/item/material stuff....etc are not that interesting actually... :P
(In "Secret" chapter, I skip some boring pages, only scan the part that relates to meaning of Aerith's "23" wishes, and te last part, "Illustration")

And I'm so stupid at editing photobucket... :puke:all pics I scanned didn't go in scequence(*hit my butt) I'll update the linkage when I finish editing...sorry.

(PS:Dear sha, can I count on you?(*wave flag)...PM me and I'll tell u my account.)

Enjoy!!!
